During a routine inspection

We spoke with two patients they told us they were given appropriate information about their treatment options. They also told us all consultations and treatments were undertaken in private and they felt their dignity was respected and their privacy maintained.

We looked at four treatment plans that recorded detailed information about consultations including dental/medical history, examination, treatment options and costs.

The practice had a copy of the local area adult and child safeguarding policy and procedure in place including contact details. They also had guidance information for the staff team to refer to.

The treatment rooms were clean, free from clutter with surfaces that could be cleaned and disinfected between patients. There were supplies of protective equipment such as glasses and aprons for use by both patients and staff.

Records and Information provided by the provider showed staff received an induction to ensure they had the skills and knowledge to support the patients who used the service. We spoke with two members of staff who said they were given good training opportunities.
